A conversation

between me (Angry Teti) and Byzantine.

The scene: While watching some show at hulu last night, we got the opportunity to view this commercial about 14 times. I found it easy enough to ignore, but on about the 3rd or 4th go-round, I was recalled from my reverie by this comment from Byz:

Byz: I don’t understand this commercial.

AT: [peers at screen] I think they want you to buy a car.

Byz: Like, I don’t understand the words he’s saying.

[AT listens intently]

Commercial: One door for “buzzin’”…One door for, yeah, you…

AT: The car has four doors?

Commercial: …It’s car…

Byz: [Affecting accent of John Rhys-Davies in the Indiana Jones movies, specifically the line “You are named after the dog?”] One door for crazy…One door for you…Is car!

AT: What is car? Is thing with doors!

Epilogue: Apparently, a “shwayze” is a person. And it remains to be seen whether the key to the car-buying hearts of Gen Y is the presence of four doors, and the absence of indefinite articles.
